Innovative Technology for the Visually Impaired
A groundbreaking new technology is set to transform the daily lives of individuals with visual impairments. Developed by researchers at Gialtong University in Shanghai, this intelligent wearable device utilizes artificial intelligence to provide safe navigation and real-time environmental adaptation for people who are blind or have severe visual disabilities.
The device is equipped with an integrated camera that maps the surrounding environment, helping users identify the safest routes and avoid obstacles, even in urban settings. Information from this mapping is conveyed to users through voice commands and tactile signals, such as vibrations on artificial skin applied to the wrists and auditory cues delivered through headphones.
